Such are tone ot tho economic results
of prohibitory protecUon; let us look
at some ot its political results. It
bts given ut tn hereditary President
It h:.» introduced tha hereditary principle into th* (ystem of administrative
appointment*. Il hat converted the
merit (ystem of appointments Into a
nldeous farce. It bat put a London
bankor, chiefly notable for tho amplitude c.'hl.chrck-boolc, into tlio Vico President", chair. I It has ehosea as hit teo-

It hat pnt tbe Republican orgsnixatlon

against whom It hss beon responsibly
and repeatedly chtrged by bit own partisan*, and without denial, thst betook
•900,000 tram th* Treasury of 1 Vma«yl-
vtnlt, and tqutndered it ln gambling.
It haa exalted thaooatom-faoute. with all
ita fort ri tin m. intrigue aad rottennota,
as the chief temple of American
liberty. It baa put this same
custom-boute beforo the school bout*
aad college tnd proelalmed tariff prohibition at the great American fetich,
before .,-lilcb overy knee shall bow. It
baa undertaken to subject all party ad-
mtalttr-itlon to Custom House usage, and
tke whole country to the sordid dogma*
and pracUoe* ot Custom Ilouso politic*.
Itbaaexhaustod th* turplus of 3109.000,-
600, and confronted us with a probable
doBelt in thesietr futnre. Itbttexalted
th* love of gain as tha chief American
motive, aad bas glorified wealth ss the
only thing on earth worth ttrivlng tor
or thinking about, worse thao all it bat
undertaken to corrupt our billot with
the contribution! of trutts, tnd to buy
with money thr suffrages of American
freemen.
Meanwhile, as Mr. Secretary Hlatn*
ba* juat declared, "our market for
foreign broadstuffs grows narrower." Our trutl-protecUag duties
have provoked, and ttlll provoke,retaliatory nct-iores on tbe part of foreign
government*, exclndlng moro and
naore the product* of our farmt from
the market* of lb* world. A* a neoes-
sary eon»e<]uence of tbl*. farming lands
btve greatly depreciated ln ratus trom
ona end of tbe country to the other.
Within thirty mllos of Columbut beautiful farms have been recently offered,
without trill era, at little ovsr -half what
thsy coal in money ton years ago.
In a recent s-*«cch in tbe Uouso of
Representative*. Mr. Butterworth declared that he could count on Ills ten
fingers men wli.no combined profits In
th* last decade htvo exceeded thoto of
all th* agriculturist* of any Stats in tho
Union.
Ths remedies offered for tbts ttate of
thtnga are higher taxation aad more
monopoly. Thote am tender.:,) us ln
tbeMcKlalsyWl. But tho farmers ct
tbe great Woat and Northwest aro
net attlstlrd with tbat meature.
Thay aro profoundly dlsatlafi-
ad with It Even Mr. Secretary Blalno
ls dlstttlf!od with It, and goe* so far as
to aay. In tubttanoe. that a prohibitory
tariff, after all, ls chiefly useful as a
diplomatic cxpodlent. Bo waata to
barter away tuoh dutlee for equivalent
free trade. He wants them put on
merely that they may be takea off
again by treaty. He declares tbat tbero
la not a section or a line In tho McKlnley bill that will open a market for a
butbol of wheat or another barrel ot
pork. Aad why should thero be? Must
notour trado be confined exclusively to
the "horn* market**"' Such Is tha prohibitory Uriff flat But tho tturdy formers ot the country do not tccept tbat
Hat. Tbey aro Ured of selling tbe produce of tbetr farms wUhout a profit
whllo the protected ttuaU are paying
enormous proflu on their Inflated
slocks. Tliey are tired ot paying
these trust., bigber prices for whtt
thsy buy tbsn thn same artl-
ales aro sold for to foreigners. Inconsequence of this, thn farming element
throughout th* eoantry Is thawing *
ditpotdtion to repudiate the prohibitory
tariff dogui.t, and tke magnaus ot no-
n<~poly tudd.'nly find themtelvw In dan-
gar of overthrow. Having chained down
tke aatety-valvs and thrown turpentine

that there U about to be aa explosion.
The discovery ef this danger has compelled tbe political champions of the
trusts to resort to desperate moasure...
With fatultou* haste thoy haro rushed

To crown hi* argument for th*

our prohibitionist frlonds will probably demand tho application of tho bayonet policy in Ohio and Michigan, as

In that ov.-.-.t tho board of tup«r-

Now I wish to tny. If thore are any

then, wby Is It good policy now?
Tho political conditions In tho South.
ot which complaint It mode, arise, as
overy one know*, from social conditions
wblcb do not exist In tbe North. The*e
conditions no force can change and no
Itw remedy. Tho attempt to rrgultto

moro .li-a.tro..-, thtn the attempt to
cripple, ri'ttraln and abolish by sututo
the natural laws of tra-.Ie. Preach It
forever, but you ean no mom make, men
virtuous and intelligent by act of Con-
grett than you ctn make a nation rich
by taxation. You can not remove In a
year,sir In twenty-five vears, tbe bestiality and degradation produced by a century
of servitude. To accomplish this mutt
he the work of time tnd of moral rather
tbaa ot political influence. To a very
great extent It must be th* work of the
enfranchir-ed people themselves. They
must work out their own salvation, and
mutt do It mainly, not by tho agency of
legislation or the bayonet, but by their
self-Improvement and nolf-liolp. Such
It the true American principle; a fair
f.uld tnd no favors. Real American
manhood, black «e white, wlll alwtyt be
able to Uke care of Itself, ll It no baby.
